INVESTORS -- INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING TO SEE HOW THE STARTED. RAY BREWER IS LIVE. GOOD AFTERNOON, MELINDA. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE EARLY MORNING FIRE AS THE HOME DID NOT HAVE ANY WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS. AS FOR THE INVESTIGATION INTO HOW THIS FIRE STARTED, THAT IS JUST GETTING UNDERWAY. IT WAS NOTHING BUT A BALL OF FLAMES. JUST SHOOTING RIGHT UP OUT OF THE SKY. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. GREG'S FLAMES WERE SHOOTING FROM THE BENJAMIN FAMILY HOME AT 8 ROY ROAD. THEY RECEIVED A 911 CALL BEFORE 130 IN THE MORNING. WE ESTABLISHED A WATER SUPPLY AT OUR CLOSEST SISTER -- CISTERN. THAT CISTERN WAS WHEN THOUSAND FEET AWAY. ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL WERE RIGHT TO THE SCENE. THE CHIEF SAYS ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE THE HOUSE WERE OUTSIDE WHEN THEY ARRIVED. WE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN INTERIOR ATTACK, BUT TO DO TO OUR MANPOWER AND WATER SUPPLY, WE DID A DEFENSIVE ATTACK AND THEN MADE OUR WAY. NO FIREFIGHTERS WERE INJURED IN FIGHTING THE FIRE, WHICH TOOK A COUPLE OF HOURS TO GET UNDER CONTROL. UNFORTUNATELY, SEVERAL OF THE HOMEOWNERS' DOGS DIED IN THE FIRE. THE HOUSE IS LOCATED IN A WOODED AREA. DESPITE THE INTENSE FLAMES, NEIGHBORS SAY BECAUSE OF THE RECENT WEATHER, THEY WERE NOT READ ABOUT IT SPREADING. WITH THE RAIN I WAS NOT SO CONCERNED. TWO WEEKS AGO, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN ANY BACKYARD. HE SAYS HIS NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN IN THE HOME FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS, THAT THIS IS A TIGHTKNIT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE FIRE HAS AFFECTED ALL OF THE SURROUNDING HOMEOWNERS. IT IS REALLY SAD. WE TRY TO DO WHAT WE CAN FOR THEM. HELP THEM ANYWAY WE CAN. AS FAR AS HOW THE FIRE STARTED, THE FIRE CHIEF SAYS IT DOES APPEAR THAT IT STARTED IN REAR OF THE HOME, BUT THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE HAS BEEN CALLED TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR INVESTIGATION.
